Amphibian experts say the animal is an African Reed frog.
Despite several attempts, the school were unable to find anywhere that would take in the watery wanderer so Miss Greenwood came to the rescue.
She said she had contacted the National Centre for Reptile Welfare and was given advice on how to care for the frog. "I'm not really a fan of frogs, because they've got these big legs and are really jumpy. But he's a little cutie and has got these little pink toes. "Also, I just felt really sorry for him. Because we struggled to know what to do with him, and some of the teachers suggested we would have to set him free, I thought he's got no chance, he would die."Staff said they put a banana in with the frog to make it "feel at home"
Miss Greenwood said she had not come up with a name the frog but it was set to join her other pets, Gander the goose and Rupert the goldfish.She said: "I woke up at 4am to go and check on him and he was sat at the side of the pot eyes wide open. He looked so happy because when he was in the classroom he looked really scared and was hiding out of the way."
